darkerick Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Hey, I am new to this forum. I was wondering this is my rig: Abit IC7 P4 [email protected] with 1:1 233:233 1 GB Corsiar PC3700 DDR(466MHz) RAM ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128 DDR Western Digital 120 GB SATA hard drive My worry is. If anyone knows what Prime95 is, when im running it for a minute, my cpu temp goes up to 40 degrees c!!! And when i run it for like 15 minutes, it goes to 69 degrees. If I run it more than that for sure it will burn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Smith Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 get better cooling. That 2.6C should be able to handle up to atleast 3.6 on air cooling so get a better means of cooling it down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino-new Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 I was running my 2.6 at 3.25 with watercooling and at full load for 10-15 minutes it would hit 51c. The watercooling was swiftech with the small radiator. My air cooling I had before that would hit 57c. Devin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 My 2.6 @ 3211mhz has never got over 83f with prime 95 for 6.5 hours I am using the koolance case with the water cooling it came with Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Smith Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 wow guys all of you guys must be having bad luck. Luck of the draw. mY 2.4C at 3.6 ghz (1200)300 fsb was only 40-45 at full load. That was with a Volcano 7+. could be your ambient temperature. Also what u might want to try with water cooling is purchase and small mini fridge and buy enough hose and get a good pump to pump water through the refrig and cool it down. Chilled water.

dino-new Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Will, That's a great idea, I was actually thinking about doing that. I decided to wait though and get the Prometia Mach 2. But I must wait a while before I can do it. The ambient temp here is pretty high, I'm in San Diego California. The ambient is about 30-35c usually. My air conditioning unit is in the other room for now. We're moving in about a year and then I'll get AC for my computer room. My computer idles at 37c and loads at about 54c. It's a 3.2 oc'd at 3.5 for now. I ordered an extra radiator to fill in the gap till I can get a prometia. Also got the vid water block for the 9800 pro. That should raise the temp a bit too.
